i take Zyprexa as mood stablizer. I have read, and seen in movies that Haldol, Thorazine, all those Seroquel make you feel lousy.
What do you mean by lousy, like depressed and blocked out?

Zyprexa made me feel lousy cos it made my action robot like (kind of hard to describe like my mind was on autopilot).
Risperdal made me feel lousy cos it didnt work I was still psychotic.
All the other antipsychotics I have taken dont make me feel lousy, in many ways they make me feel pretty good actually...

I am on a low dose of Zyprexa (antipsychotic) 2.5.
I not on any antipsychotics, i hope will never be either. I am on alot of antianxiety medication Xanax which is potent, but it wears off terribly back to the anxiety.
Phiillipa im going to babblemail you.
I have not done that in so long. What is wrong with me?
Thanks Bunny. I didnt know anyone who took thorazine. THank you for sharing that experience.
Matt

RJ, I haven't tried the meds you listed but I've been on Risperdal, and various benzos. Whenever I say that they made me feel terrible, I'm refering to impaired motor-control. As though I were trying to lift my body wearing one of those lead-aprons they use taking x-rays. Or like moving under water. For me it's always about extreme sedation (without the sleep that usually follows). I can't get my body to move at the same speed(normal speed) as my brain signals. My head feels heavy, like extreme congestion - with vertigo and all.
And then there was the wicked "lousiness" I felt coming off of it.
